Beck says Flume collaboration came from him running around his house ‘speaking in tongues’

Flume has spoken about how his new collaboration with Beck came about.

The track ‘Tiny Cities’ was premiered on Zane Lowe’s Beats 1 show today (May 25) and features on the Australian producer’s new album ‘Skin’, which is released on Friday (May 27).

Speaking to Lowe, Flume revealed he “caught an Uber” to Beck’s house, before hanging out and working on ideas. “I brought my laptop over and basically played a bunch of music and did some singing,” he said.

“We just plugged a mic into his laptop,” Beck added. “I remember I had this Neumann 1950s mic, this beautiful thing, and we just ended up plugging in this Shure mic and I just ran around the house singing a bunch of random things in gibberish.”
